About Indian Head Iron Works
Among the industrial steel and scrap sites in La Plata, Maryland is Indian Head Iron Works, which takes inbound material from local sellers. The business provides a paid intake channel for scrap metal that would otherwise sit unused, and serves walk-in sellers along with small contractors. Material handled at the site, per public records, includes aluminum, brass, copper, and lead. The list reflects the yard's own self-reported intake mix as filed with our directory, and gives sellers a clean working baseline for what fits inbound flow on a typical day at the gate. Per the directory, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. Both data points come from the yard's own filing and represent what the site has published about its inbound schedule and contact options, which gives sellers a working baseline for planning a visit. On larger loads, calling ahead with approximate tonnage and material spec lets the yard quote a working per-ton price and book gate timing. The site can plan inbound capacity, and the contractor walks in with a number rather than waiting at the scale on the day of the drop-off and the drive over.
